Last Stand at Saber River (1997)

[MAN SHOUTING IN SPANISH]
HYAH!
[WHISTLES] HYAH!
HYAH! HYUP!
TWISTED BRONC.
LIKE TO BREAK MY BACK
FALLING OVER ON ME.
I KNOW THAT COLT.
HIS DADDY WAS
A PURE OUTLAW, TOO.
[NEIGHING]
THEY'RE SPOOKED TONIGHT.
WHY DO I ALWAYS DRAW
A NIGHT HAWK
WHEN THERE'S A FULL MOON?
[GUNS COCK]
Man: YOU SHOOT EVERY
STRANGER IN TEXAS,
YOU'RE GONNA BE
MORE FAMOUS
THAN QUANTRELL
HIMSELF.
YOU LOOK LIKE
YOU SEEN A GHOST, REAL.
YOUR WIFE GOT A LETTER
SAYING YOU DIED.
IT WAS SIGNED BY
THE GREAT GENERAL
BEDFORD FORREST HIMSELF.
WORD WAS THAT YOU DIED
A HERO FOR THE CONFEDERACY.
WELL, TRUTH BE KNOWN,
I GOT SHOT IN THE BUTT.
AND I DON'T REMEMBER
FEELIN' HEROIC,
GENERAL FORREST OR NOT.
IS THE WAR OVER?
FOR ME, IT IS.
YOU HUNGRY?
HOW IS SHE?
SEEING YOU
IS GOING TO SHAKE HER.
YOU WANT ME TO SADDLE
A MUSTANG?
THIS HORSE AND I COME
A LONG WAY TOGETHER.
[RINGING]
RACE YOU!
BYE. SEE YOU TOMORROW.
SEE YOU TOMORROW!
HURRY!
CLARE, DAVIS!
WAIT A MINUTE.
Child: RACE YOU!
WHERE ARE Y'ALL GOING
SO FAST?
WE HAVE TO GO SAY
GOOD-BYE TO SANDERS.
WELL, THAT'S ALL RIGHT,
BUT AFTERWARDS
GET YOUR CHORES DONE.
YES, MAMA.
YES, MAMA.
CLARE?
AFTER CHORES, HELP DAVIS
WITH HIS ARITHMETIC.
I WILL, MAMA.
FELT NAKED
WITHOUT MY COLT.
THAT'S WHAT BRITCHES
ARE FOR.
DON'T LISTEN TO HIM.
HE'S A MEAN OLD MAN.
WE ALTERED THE HAMMER
AND THE CYLINDER,
AND WE INSTALLED
A SIDE EJECTOR ROD
TO PUNCH OU THE EMPTY SHELLS.
DOESN'T FEEL
MUCH DIFFERENT.
MIGHT NOT FEEL
MUCH DIFFERENT,
BUT THAT CONVERTED COL IS NOW A CUSTOM-MADE,
PRECISION FIREARM.
NOT THAT YOU KNOW
HOW TO USE IT.
YES, SIR.
THOSE BOYS ARE GONNA
WANT TO PLAY POKER WITH YOU.
NO, MA'AM. THIS GUN
STAYS RIGHT WHERE IT IS.
[CHILDREN TALKING]
HAVE THEM
LEARN THEIR SUMS.
HAVE HIM PRACTICE
HIS PENMANSHIP AFTER CHORES.
SARAH, WILL YOU
GET MY CHILDREN?
WELL, I'LL BOW.
YES, THERE'S
A GOD IN HEAVEN.
HELLO, JAMES.
I'M GLAD
YOU'RE BACK.
THIS IS YOUR FATHER.
NO, HE'S NOT.
CABLE'S DEAD.
YOU SAID SO.
I WAS WRONG.
YOU'RE A BIG BOY.
WOULDN'T HAVE
KNOWN YOU, EITHER.
DADDY.
HELLO, CLARE.
AHH.
LOOK AT YOU.
OHH.
WHERE'S THE BABY?
[FIGHTING TEARS]
MARY DIED.
ALMOST 3 YEARS AGO
OF INFLUENZA.
THERE WAS NOTHIN'
ANYBODY COULD'VE DONE.
2 DAYS AFTER SHE
COME DOWN WITH IT,
SHE WAS GONE.
3 YEARS AGO?
I WROTE YOU...
HALF A DOZEN LETTERS.
OHH.
Clare:
"THERE ARE OLD SOLDIERS,
"AND THERE ARE
EAGER SOLDIERS,
"BUT REGRETFULLY
THERE ARE VERY FEW
OLD, EAGER SOLDIERS."
WERE YOU EAGER?
CLARE SAYS YOU FOUGH NORTHERN OPPRESSION.
I FOUGH TO STAY ALIVE, SON.
ASK HIM WHY A GROWN MAN
WITH 3 CHILDREN
WOULD VOLUNTEER
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THAT'S LIKE ASKING A MAN
WHY HE'S SHORT OR TALL.
HE JUST IS, THAT'S ALL.
MOM USED TO SAY THA THE GREATEST UNANSWERED
QUESTION OF OUR TIME
WAS WHY
YOU VOLUNTEERED
FOR
THE CONFEDERATE ARMY.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF BABES.
AND WE ALL KNOW WHO PU THOSE WORDS IN HIS MOUTH.
HE ENLISTED BECAUSE
GENERAL FORREST PERSONALLY
SENT HIM A COMMISSION,
BUT YOUR FATHER TRAINED
THE HORSES
FOR GENERAL FORREST'S
GLORIOUS NINTH CAVALRY--
LET'S NOT TALK ABOU THE GREAT GENERAL FORREST.
WELL, HE'S THE GREATES HORSE GENERAL
THAT EVER LIVED.
MAN GOES TO WAR
WHEN HIS COUNTRY CALLS.
Mrs. Cable:
CABLE WENT TO WAR
TO GET AWAY FROM US.
HE WENT TO WAR
FOR GOD AND COUNTRY
AND HORSEFLESH.
HE THOUGHT IT'D BE
A GREAT ADVENTURE.
SINCE I'M NOT DEAD,
IT IS NO LONGER NECESSARY
TO TALK ABOUT ME AS IF I WAS.
ANYWAY WE'RE GONNA WIN,
'CAUSE GOD'S ON OUR SIDE.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE
GOD STANDS, SON,
BUT THE WAR IS LOST.
THAT'S ENOUGH TALK ABOU THE WAR FOR ONE NIGHT.
LET'S GET TO BED.
WELL, SEE YOU
IN THE MORNIN'.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
[DOOR CLOSES]
James: WELL, THAT WAS
AN INTERESTING EVENING.
MY DAUGHTER'S ALWAYS HAD
A PRICKLY DISPOSITION.
YOU KNOW,
TOO MUCH EDUCATION'S
A TERRIBLE THING
FOR A WOMAN.
JAMES SANFORD,
I MISSED YOU.
WELCOME HOME, SON.
[GUN COCKS]
WHAT DO YOU WAN TO DO NOW?
WELL, MUST BE
20,000 HEAD OF CATTLE
ALL OVER
THE SOUTH OF TEXAS.
REAL WANTS ME TO HELP
DRIVE THEM TO ABILENE.
IS THAT WHA YOU WANT TO DO?
WE NEED THE MONEY.
YOUR FATHER'S
A REAL ARTIST.
I DID IT,
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW.
YOU DIDN'T ANSWER
MY QUESTION.
I WANT TO GO HOME.
IT'S WHAT I DREAMED OF.
THIS IS THE MONEY
WE GOT FOR OUR COWS
WHEN WE LEFT ARIZONA.
IT IS.
YOU NEVER TOUCHED IT?
NO.
[SIGHS]
WHAT DO YOU
WANT TO DO?
EVERY DAY,
I GOT UP AT SUNRISE.
EVERY DAY,
I TAUGHT SCHOOL,
I CAME HOME,
I COOKED DINNER,
I READ TO THE CHILDREN,
I WENT TO BED,
AND I WAITED FOR YOU
TO COME BACK
AND TAKE ME HOME.
[ROOSTER CROWS]
PUT THIS HORSE TO WORK,
A COUPLE OF YEARS,
YOU'LL HAVE A GREAT STABLE.
MUCH OBLIGED, JAMES.
ARIZONA TERRITORY
IS STILL UNION.
BUT WITH YOUR EYE,
THIS IS GOOD
AT 1,000 YARDS.
THE WAR'S BEHIND US,
OR SO I THOUGHT.
CLARE,
WE'RE MOVIN' OUT.
WILL YOU COME
VISIT US IN ARIZONA?
DAUGHTER, YOU KNOW
I'LL NEVER LEAVE TEXAS.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
WE'VE BEEN TALKIN'.
IT'S SUNDAY.
WE WANT TO STOP.
I FIGURE 3 MORE HOURS,
THEN WE'LL STOP.
Mrs. Cable: HYAH! HYAH!
Cable: GO!
GIDDAP!
HYAH! GIDDAP!
THAT'S IT, CLARE.
GIDDAP.
Cable: YEE-HAW!
Davis: WHAT'S WRONG
WITH DADDY, MAMA?
HYAH!
IT'S NOTHING AT ALL, DAVIS.
SEE THOSE MOUNTAINS UP THERE?
WHEN WE CLEAR 'EM,
WE'RE GONNA BE
IN ARIZONA TERRITORY.
GIDDAP!
WE'RE ALMOST HOME.
Y'ALL HUSH AND GET TO SLEEP.
[THUNDER]
I'M SO EXCITED
ABOUT GETTIN' HOME.
THERE WERE TIMES,
EVEN ON THE BATTLEFIELD,
I USED TO THINK ABOUT MARY.
TRIED TO IMAGINE
WHAT SHE LOOKED LIKE.
SAW HER WHEN SHE WAS 2.
SAW HER
ON HER THIRD BIRTHDAY,
WHEN SHE WAS 4.
[THUNDER]
BARELY LIVED PAST ONE.
[RUMBLING]
Cable: STAMPEDE.
COME ON, DAVIS.
COME ON.
[WHINNYING]
EVERYBODY ALL RIGHT?
I THINK SO.
Woman: WHOA!
THEY PLOWED THROUGH HERE.
STAY BACK.
DIDN'T EXPECT ANYBODY'D
BE UP THIS HIGH.
WE HAD A FIRE.
WE COULDN'T HAVE
STOPPED 'EM ANYWAY.
THE LIGHTNING
SPOOKED 'EM.
YOU HAD NO RIGH DRIVIN' HORSES AT NIGH IN A THUNDERSTORM.
ANY FOOL KNOWS THAT.
AUSTIN, GO GET VERN
AND MY FATHER.
JOE, BEN,
GET THE WAGON UP.
MOST FOLKS USE
THE WAGON TRAIL DOWN BELOW.
WE FIGURED
IT'D BE SAFER UP HERE.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
CABLE.
WHAT'S YOURS?
KEEP QUIET.
LORRAINE KIDSTON'S MY NAME.
WHERE YOU FOLKS HEADED?
DIDN'T SAY.
HYAH! HYAH!
MOVE!
SHE'S FROM PHILADELPHIA.
I DON'T EXPECT HER
TO KNOW ANYTHING,
BUT YOU BOYS,
RUNNIN' HORSES
DOWN A MOUNTAIN
IN THE DARK
IN A STORM?
MAMA TOLD 'EM THAT.
[CHUCKLES]
I'LL BET SHE DID.
WHAT DID YOU SAY
YOUR NAME WAS?
DIDN'T SAY.
HIS NAME'S CABLE.
THE GIRL SAID SO.
THEY SAID
YOU WERE DEAD.
WISHFUL THINKIN' FOR SOME.
YOU RODE WITH THA MURDEROUS SON OF A BITCH
NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST.
AFTER THE WAR,
WE'RE GONNA HANG HIM.
YOU'RE GONNA NEED
A LONG ROPE.
WE COULD SHOOT YOU
RIGHT HERE.
PROBABLY GE A MEDAL FOR IT.
BUNCH OF YANKEES MURDERING
ONE MAN, HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN?
DO THEY GIVE MEDALS
FOR THAT IN YOUR ARMY?
MA'AM...
YOUR HOME
HAS BEEN CONFISCATED
BY THE UNION ARMY.
THAT'S STEALIN'!
CLARE.
ARIZONA NEVER WAS
A SLAVE TERRITORY.
DIDN'T FIGH FOR SLAVERY.
WHAT THE HELL DID
YOU FIGHT FOR?
WHEN YOU BETRAYED
THE UNION, CABLE,
YOU GAVE UP
YOUR RIGHTS.
MAYBE YOU FOLKS
SHOULD MOVE ON.
SAVE A LO OF HEARTBREAK.
NOBODY'S DRIVIN' US
OFF OUR LAND.
YOU FIGURE YOU
CAN DROP US ALL?
YOU'RE FIRST.
HE'S NEXT.
YOU CARE WHAT HAPPENS
AFTER THAT?
YOU DON'T BELONG HERE.
MAYBE YOU DID ONCE,
BUT NOT NOW.
GIDDAP!
HYAH!
UHH.
WHOA!
LOOKING
FOR JOHN DENAMAN.
HE'S NOT HERE
ANYMORE.
WHAT ABOU LUZ OR MANUEL?
YOU KNOW LUZ?
SINCE SHE WAS 7 YEARS OLD.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
WHAT HAPPENED TO DENAMAN?
NOTHING.
HE JUST DIED.
NOT DEAD.
NO, LUZ, JUST A LITTLE TIRED,
THAT'S ALL.
MARTHA!
Clare: HI, LUZ!
CLARE!
YOU'RE GONNA BE
AS TALL AS YOUR PA.
MY GOD.
I BET DAVIS DOESN' REMEMBER ME AT ALL.
I DO, TOO.
OK, LET'S SEE
IF WE CAN FIND
SOMETHING SWEE INSIDE.
YOU WOULDN'T BE
CABLE, WOULD YOU?
WORD WAS YOU GO YOURSELF DEAD
AT BRICE'S
CROSSROAD.
USED TO BE NOBODY GAVE
2 NICKELS ABOUT ME.
I'LL BUY YOU
A DRINK.
NAME'S JANROE.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND
IN EDWARD JANROE.
THAT'S NEIGHBORLY
OF YOU.
THANK YOU, LUZ.
I MAY BE THE ONLY FRIEND
YOU'VE GOT AROUND HERE.
NOBODY KNOWS
I FOLLOWED KIRBY SMITH.
MAYBE IT'S
NOBODY'S BUSINESS.
IT'S HOW I LOS THE USE OF THIS ARM,
OUTSIDE OF RICHMOND.
IT SHOULD BE
OF INTEREST TO YOU.
WHY IS THAT?
'CAUSE WE'RE
COMRADES IN ARMS.
I MEAN, GOOD GOD, MAN,
I CAN HELP YOU...
'CAUSE THE KIDSTONS
ARE GONNA KILL YOU.
I DON'T NEED
ANY HELP.
SO MR. CABLE JUST RODE UP
ONE SUNNY DAY
WITH NO WARNING?
HE CAUGH MY ATTENTION.
[LAUGHS]
WHO IS
THIS MAN JANROE?
SAYS HE'S
DENAMAN'S COUSIN.
MR. DENAMAN LEF HALF THE STORE TO HIM
AND HALF
TO MANUEL AND ME.
HOW IS YOUR BROTHER?
MANUEL IS FINE.
THERE ARE SOME MEN
LIVIN' IN YOUR HOUSE.
THEN THEY'RE GONNA
HAVE TO MOVE OUT.
YOU KNOW, THE UNION ARMY IS
THE ONLY LAW AROUND HERE.
AND THE YANKEE CAVALRY'S
GONNA LINE UP
WITH THE RANCHERS
SUPPLYING 'EM
WITH THE REMOUNTS.
DON'T YOU THINK?
YEAH, I THINK
THAT COULD BE RIGHT.
[CLEARS THROAT]
THANKS FOR THE DRINK.
Janroe: YOU FOLKS
NEED ANYTHING, I'M HERE.
LUZ.
TAKE CARE.
DID LUZ SAY
WHERE MANUEL WAS?
ONLY THA HE WAS COMIN' BACK
FROM MEXICO TONIGH WITH SUPPLIES.
HYAH!
[YELLING IN SPANISH]
WHOA! WHOA!
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[SPEAKING
SPANISH]
HYAH!
GIDDAP!
HYAH!
GIDDAP.
GIDDAP.
GIDDAP.
WHOA!
THIS IS OUR VALLEY.
HERE. HOLD THESE.
ABOUT 30 HEAD
AND 2 MEN WITH 'EM.
GOT A PLAN?
WELL, SON,
I'M JUST GONNA
KNOCK
ON THE FRONT DOOR
AND TELL 'EM
WE'RE HOME.
CAN I LOOK?
NOT NOW.
ANY PROBLEMS?
ANY PROBLEMS?
THEY WANT 2 CRATES
NEXT TIME.
AMBITION'S GONNA
KILL THAT MEXICAN.
Woman: NO!
I SAID NO!
HA HA HA!
GO AWAY! OHH!
PLEASE!
NO, I DON'T LIKE YOU!
I'LL GIVE YOU
A DOLLAR.
A DOLLAR DON'T GIVE YOU
THE RIGHT TO HURT ME!
UHH!
GET OFF HER.
[GUN COCKS]
NAME'S CABLE,
AND THIS IS MY HOME.
DUANE, HE--
HE TOLD US
YOU WAS COMIN'.
GET YOUR THINGS
AND GET OUT.
WELL, THAT,
UH...
THAT DON' SEEM SOCIABLE.
DUANE SAID IF WE HAD
NOTHIN' ELSE TO DO,
WE COULD KILL YOU.
THAT'D BE A MISTAKE TO TRY.
YOU THINK ABOUT IT, SON,
'FORE YOU PULL
ON THAT HOG LEG.
COME ON, CARLITA.
OHH!
UHH!
I AIN'T ARMED!
Davis: MAMA!
STAY BACK!
Clare: I GOT HIM.
OH.. .
WHAT'S VERN
GONNA SAY?
YOU JUST TELL HIM
HOW IT HAPPENED.
HE'LL UNDERSTAND.
TOMORROW MORNIN',
I'LL DRIVE YOUR STOCK
OVER TO YOUR SPREAD.
YOU'D BEST NOT BE
COMIN' BACK HERE AGAIN.
YES, SIR.
WHERE'S MAMA?
SHE'S DOWN
BY THE WATER.
SHE'S FINE.
NOW GO BACK INSIDE
LIKE I TOLD YA.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
MARTHA...
YOU KNEW THEY WERE
GONNA TRY TO KILL YOU.
I FIGURED THEY MIGHT.
YOU BECAME A KILLER,
AND NOW I'M ONE.
DID YOU HAVE A CHOICE?
DO I HAVE ONE NOW?
YOU HAVEN'T STOPPED
SNARLIN' AT ME
SINCE I COME HOME.
YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE NO THE MAN I MARRIED.
I AM NOT THE ONLY SOLDIER
WHO SERVED IN A LOSIN' CAUSE,
AND YOU ARE NO THE ONLY WOMAN
TO LOSE A CHILD.
YOU THINK THAT'S
WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?
THEY'RE ASLEEP.
THINK THEY'RE GONNA
BE BACK TONIGHT?
NO, I DON'T.
I HAD A DREAM ABOUT THE DAY
YOU ASKED ME TO MARRY YOU.
YOU ASKED ME.
I SAID I WAS A DREAM.
BUT DADDY SAID
I WAS TOO OLD,
TOO SKINNY,
AND TOO MEAN.
YOU SAID, "I'M GONNA
TRADE SOME HORSES
DOWN IN MEXICO.
WANNA GO ALONG?"
I TOOK THA AS A PROPOSAL.
YOU REMEMBER
WHEN SONNY WEST GAVE ME
A GOOD SHELLACKIN'
AND YOU GAVE HIM A BLACK EYE
AND YOU KNOCKED OU HIS FRONT TOOTH?
YOU WENT TO HIS FATHER,
AND YOU SAID, UH,
"CABLE'S GOT NO MA.
HE'S GOT NO GRANNY.
"AND IF SONNY EVER
TOUCHES HIM AGAIN,
I'M GONNA SHOOT HIM DEAD."
TONIGHT I SHO 2 PEOPLE DEAD.
[TREES RUSTLING]
JUST THE WIND.
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.
LUXURIES
WE CAN'T AFFORD.
I NEVER READ A BOOK
IN MY LIFE.
I COULDN'T EVEN WRITE
MY OWN NAME
UNTIL YOU TAUGHT ME.
YOU'RE SMART ENOUGH.
MARTHA...
AN ARMY OF REBS
ARE COMIN' HOME.
ARE THEY ALL
STRANGERS LIKE US?
I KNOW ONE THING.
I DON'T WAN TO LIVE WITH A WOMAN
WHO DON'T LIKE ME.
THINK ON IT.
IF THAT'S THE WAY IT IS,
I'LL TAKE YOU
BACK TO TEXAS.
YAH!
YAH!
HYAH!
YAH!
YAH!
YAH.
YAH!
YAH.
I TRIED TO REMEMBER
EVERYTHING
YOU TAUGHT ME.
YOU REMEMBERED
WHAT I TAUGHT YA AND MORE.
I'M SORRY I MISSED IT.
BUT I'M REAL PROUD
OF YOU, DAUGHTER.
YAH!
YAH!
YAH!
HYAH!
YAH! COME ON!
HO!
YOU HEARD HIM!
SLOW 'EM DOWN!
HURRY, BOYS!
WHOO-HOO!
COME ON!
SHOULD REACH FORT LOWELL
BY NOON TOMORROW.
ISN'T THA BILL DANCY?
NOBODY'D RIDE THA HARD WITH GOOD NEWS.
IS IT APACHES?
CERTAINLY AIN'T PAYDAY.
THEY'RE DEAD,
MR. KIDSTON.
ROYCE AND JOE BOB
GOT BLOWED TO HELL.
I COME HERE
AS QUICK AS I COULD.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WELL...
WE WAS DRINKIN'...
HAVIN' A GOOD TIME.
AND JOE BOB, HE GO A LITTLE ROUGH WITH CARLITA,
AND THEN CABLE
SHOWED UP.
YOU WERE DRUNK.
I CAN SMELL I FROM HERE.
WELL,
THEN JOE BOB, HE--
HE SORTA TORE
CARLITA'S DRESS.
SO CABLE SHOWS UP
AND SHOOTS BOTH OF 'EM
'CAUSE JOE BOB TORE
SOME WHORE'S DRESS.
WELL...I DON' REMEMBER EVERYTHING.
I DID HAVE
A FEW DRINKS.
THINK ON IT, BILL.
THEN CABLE TOLD US
TO GET OUT.
THEN WHAT?
WELL, THEY DREW IRON,
THAT'S WHAT.
AND THAT'S WHEN
THE WOMAN
COME OUT OF
THE SHADOWS OVER HERE
WITH A SCATTERGUN
AND UNLOADED
BOTH BARRELS.
YOU MEAN CABLE'S WIFE
SHOT ROYCE AND JOE BOB?
YES, SIR.
2 DRUNKS TRYING TO
MURDER HER HUSBAND--
I CAN'T SAY I'M SURPRISED.
LORRAINE.
WHY DIDN'T HE
KILL YOU?
WELL, 'CAUSE I DIDN' HAVE MY GUN.
WE GOTTA DO SOMETHIN',
MR. KIDSTON.
OH, I'M GONNA
DO SOMETHIN'.
TOMORROW, I'M GONNA
SELL THESE MUSTANGS
AT FORT LOWELL.
AND THEN I'M GONNA
TAKE A BATH, EAT A STEAK,
AND SMOKE A CIGAR!
AUSTIN WAS RIGHT.
YOU WANNA JUS BUSHWHACK CABLE,
OR YOU WANNA MURDER
HIS WHOLE FAMILY?
TO ME, IT'S SIX OF ONE,
HALF A DOZEN TO THE OTHER.
Davis:
"AND ENOSH LIVED--"
Martha:
THAT'S ENOCH.
"AND ENOCH LIVED
90 YEARS
"AND BEGAT CAINAN.
"AND ENOCH LIVED
AFTER HE BEGAT CAINAN
"815 YEARS
AND BEGAT SONS AND...
DAUGHTERS."
Martha:
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
WHAT'S BEGAT MEAN,
MAMA?
IT MEANS FATHERIN'.
NOBODY LIVES 815 YEARS.
IT'S JUST A STORY,
HONEY.
[RAIN FALLING]
HOW MANY HEIFERS
YOU GONNA BUY?
DADDY'S GOIN'
TO MEXICO
TO BUY
A THOUSAND HEAD.
MORE LIKE 50.
BUT I LIKE
YOUR CONFIDENCE.
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH GRASS
FOR A THOUSAND HEAD.
50 HEAD'S A GOOD START.
Man: BRING HIM AROUND.
CAN'T I HAVE MY SUPPER
WITHOUT HEARING A PLO TO COMMIT MURDER?
HE'S GONNA PAY
FOR WHAT HE DONE.
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGH ONE EX-SOLDIER WOULD
BE SUCH AN OBSTACLE?
WELL, CABLE
WAS A HARD TWIST.
HIS WAR'S LOST.
ALL HE'S GOT IS...
HIS PLACE AND HIS FAMILY.
HIS WIFE LEAVIN' HIM
MIGHT TAKE THE STARCH
RIGHT OUT OF HIM.
YOU LEARN TO FIGHT DIRTY
AT THAT FANCY SCHOOL
IN PHILADELPHIA?
FROM DUANE.
Davis: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN CALIBER AND GAGE?
THE CALIBER
IS THE SIZE OF THE BORE.
IT'S THE DIAMETER
OF THE INSIDE OF THE BARREL
EXPRESSED IN INCHES.
FOR INSTANCE,
THE SHARPS IS A .52 CALIBER.
SO IT'S 52 100ths
OF AN INCH?
EXACTLY!
[HORSE NEIGHS]
MORNIN',
MRS. CABLE.
MR. JANROE.
JUST THOUGHT YOU
MUST BE RUNNIN' LOW
ON SUGAR AND COFFEE
ABOUT NOW,
SO WE THOUGH WE'D COME ON OVER.
WHERE'S
YOUR HUSBAND?
HE'S AROUND
THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE.
WHAT'D YOU BRING US,
MISS LUZ?
HI, MISS LUZ.
HI.
MR. CABLE.
LUZ TELLS ME
THAT YOU, UH, SOLD YOUR STOCK
DOWN IN MEXICO
'FORE YOU PULLED OUT.
AND I'M FIXIN'
TO BUY 'EM BACK.
WELL, GOOD.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE
ABLE TO DO THAT.
[HAMMERING]
CABLE, LISTEN.
I'M SURE YOU'RE
WONDERING ABOUT MY INTERES IN YOUR AFFAIRS YESTERDAY.
WELL...
I SEEM TO BE
SORT OF THE PRIZE BULL
AROUND
THESE PARTS LATELY.
YEAH, WELL, THERE
WAS A PURPOSE.
DID YOU KNOW DENAMAN
WAS RUNNING
GUNS FOR THE SOUTH?
CONFEDERATE AGENTS
BRING 'EM TO A PLACE
'CROSS THE BORDER
WHERE WE PICK 'EM UP.
STORE'S JUS A RELAY POINT,
AND WE SHIP 'EM
BACK EAST.
AND WHERE DO YOU FIT IN?
I'M THE CHIEF AGEN FOR ARIZONA TERRITORY.
WELL, THAT OUGHTA
KEEP YOU BUSY.
MR. CABLE, LET ME
GET RIGHT TO THE POINT.
THAT WOULD BE GOOD.
YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU.
YOU'RE STILL
A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.
IF I STILL BELIEVED
IN THIS WAR, WHICH I DON'T,
I WOULDN'T HAVE NOTHIN'
TO DO WITH RUNNING GUNS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
IF YOU BELIEVED?
WAR'S OVER. LEE'S BEA 6 WAYS FROM DIXIE,
AND HE KNOWS IT.
EVEN IF YOU DON'T.
DADDY!
THE MARE'S DOWN!
DOWN BY THE ROCKS
IN THE CREEK!
GO GET YOUR MA.
MAMA, COME QUICK.
DADDY NEEDS YOUR HELP.
THE MARE'S DOWN!
COME ON. I'LL SHOW YOU.
GET BACK!
HELLO, CABLE.
YOU WANNA LOSE THAT?
WE FIGURED YOU'D COME
SOONER OR LATER.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
JUSTICE--
AND WE'RE GONNA FIND IT.
AT THE LONG END
OF A ROPE.
YOU KILLED OUR BROTHER.
BUT IT AIN'T POLITE
TO HANG A LADY.
SO WE'RE GONNA HANG
YOUR HUSBAND INSTEAD.
[HORSE NEIGHS]
GET OUTTA HERE!
GO ON.
GET OUTTA HERE!
[CLICKS TONGUE]
LOOK OUT, AUSTIN!
NO, NO, NO.
GET UP.
DON'T SHOOT ME, WYNN!
WYNN!
IS HE DEAD?
I HOPE SO.
YOU GONNA SHOO THIS ONE?
CLARE, TAKE
YOUR BROTHER
BACK TO THE HOUSE.
NOW!
GO ON, DAVIS.
IN THE MORNIN',
I'LL TAKE YOU IN
TO DENAMAN'S.
YOU'LL
BE SAFE THERE.
AND WHEN THE DUS CLEARS,
I'LL PUT YOU ALL
ON THE STAGE
TO EL PASO.
WHEN THE DUST CLEARS...
YOU'RE GONNA BE
JUST LIKE HIM.
Davis: I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES.
Clare: IT DIDN' HAPPEN TO YOU.
JANROE.
I COULD, UH...
USE SOME HELP.
WE HAD A LITTLE PROBLEM
YESTERDAY, AND, UH...
I'D APPRECIATE I IF MY FAMILY COULD
STAY HERE A FEW DAYS.
HAPPY TO OBLIGE.
LIKE TO SHOW YOU
SOMETHING.
DON'T SEE WHY
WE CAN'T STAY TOGETHER.
TILL DADDY
KILLS THE BLUE BELLIES,
IT WON'T BE SAFE.
CLARE!
NO. NO.
LISTEN TO ME, CABLE.
THESE RIFLES...
ARE MORE IMPORTAN THAN ANY MAN'S LIFE.
I ADMIRE YOUR SENSE
OF PURPOSE.
I DO.
BUT IF YOU FIGURE
A FEW CRATES
OF BRITISH RIFLES
ARE GONNA CHANGE
THE OUTCOME
OF THE WAR...
WE'RE TALKIN' ABOU YOUR COUNTRY HERE,
MR. CABLE.
DON'T YA STILL HEAR
THE GUNS...
THE SCREAMS
OF THE WOUNDED?
YOU SWORE AN OATH
TO THE CONFEDERATE STATES
OF AMERICA.
IT'S YOUR DUTY TO KILL
VERN AND DUANE.
A SOLDIER'S OATH
DOESN'T INCLUDE
MURDER.
ISN'T THAT WHAT WAR IS?
IT'S MURDER ALL WRAPPED UP
AND SANCTIFIED WITH A FLAG.
YOU WERE AT FORT PILLOW.
FORT PILLOW WASN'T WAR.
IT WAS AN EXECUTION!
FORREST IS A BUTCHER
IN A BLACK COAT.
MR. JANROE...
ALL I CAN DO FOR MYSELF
AND MY FAMILY
IS TRY TO REBUILD
OUR LIVES TOGETHER.
AND I SUGGES YOU DO THE SAME.
YOU KNOW,
THE DODD BROTHERS
WILL NEVER FORGE THAT YOU KILLED JOE BOB.
THERE'S ONLY
ONE DODD LEFT.
THAT'S WHY YOU BROUGH YOUR FAMILY HERE.
I COULDN' GET A FIX ON THAT.
WELL, YOU KNOW,
IT SEEMS TO ME
THAT YOU'RE SERVIN'
YOUR COUNTRY...
WHETHER YOU WANT TO
OR NOT.
I CONSIDER IT MY DUTY
TO LOOK AFTER
YOUR FAMILY.
I'M GONNA
HOLD YOU TO THAT.
AIN'T SEEN
WYNN AND AUSTIN
SINCE THE DRIVE
TO FORT LOWELL.
WELL, COME TO THINK OF IT,
I HAVEN'T SEEN 'EM
EITHER.
THINK THEY TRIED TO SETTLE
THE SCORE WITH CABLE?
DAMN IT, DUANE.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
LOOKIN' AFTER THINGS.
HELL, THEY'RE GROWN MEN.
I DON'T HAVE A ROPE ON 'EM.
THEY WEN TO CABLE'S PLACE
LOOKIN' FOR TROUBLE,
I SUSPEC THEY FOUND IT.
NOW, IF YOU HAD DONE
AS I SUGGESTED
AND GOT RID OF CABLE,
WE WOULDN'T BE
HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS.
SO YOU FIGURE
THOSE HORSES
WERE GONNA GE TO FORT LOWELL
BY THEMSELVES.
THIS IS BUSINESS.
IF WE DON'T RUN I LIKE A BUSINESS,
WE'RE GONNA BE
OUTTA BUSINESS.
THIS WAR AIN'T GONNA
LAST FOREVER,
CONTRARY
TO WHAT YOU THINK.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
MUST BE HUNGRY.
DON'T FIGURE YOU.
IT AIN'T HARD.
JUST WANNA BE
LEFT ALONE.
I GOT WORK TO DO.
YOU BEST BE GONE
WHEN I GET BACK.
WANT SOME COFFEE?
IT'S FRESH.
RELAX.
I'M ALONE.
WALK?
I WAS THROWN.
MY HORSE RAN AWAY.
THAT WAS CARELESS,
WASN'T IT?
THE WAY YOU'RE
WALKIN'...
MUST HAVE BEEN
A NASTY FALL.
I'LL PROBABLY BE
BLACK AND BLUE
TOMORROW.
YOU WANT ME TO SADDLE UP
ONE OF THE MUSTANGS?
IT CAN WAI TILL MORNIN'.
NOW, WHAT WOULD
YOUR FATHER SAY ABOUT THAT?
YOU AFRAID OF MY FATHER,
MR. CABLE, OR ME?
OR YOURSELF?
MR. JANROE DIDN' DO ANYTHING WRONG, DID HE?
I MEAN, YOU SHARE
THE SAME BED.
HE'S NOT REALLY
INTERESTED.
HE PRETENDS,
BUT HE ISN'T.
HE'S SO FILLED
WITH HATE,
THERE'S NO ROOM
FOR A WOMAN.
HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE
AROUND HERE.
THIS HERE IS A OLD
YANKEE NEWSPAPER
FROM FORT LOWELL.
YOUR HUSBAND SERVED
WITH GENERAL FORREST,
DIDN'T HE?
MM-HMM.
DID HE EVER
BRING UP THE...
INCIDENT AT FORT PILLOW,
TENNESSEE?
HE DOESN'T TALK ABOU THE WAR.
I DON'T ASK HIM.
THERE WAS SOME CONTROVERSY.
MR. JANROE, WHY DON' YOU JUST GO AHEAD
AND SAY IT,
WHATEVER'S ON YOUR MIND.
"GENERAL
NATHAN BEDFORD FORRES STANDS ACCUSED OF EXECUTING
300 UNION PRISONERS."
MOST OF 'EM NIGGERS.
WAR CHANGED
YOUR HUSBAND...
DIDN'T IT?
IT DOES ALL SOLDIERS.
I MEAN, I'M NO MAKIN' ANY JUDGMENT,
BUT IT'S A FACT.
SEE, AFTER A SPELL, KILLIN'...
GETS EASIER,
ALMOST SECOND NATURE.
WHY ARE YOU
TELLIN' ME THIS?
WE'RE INVOLVED IN A VITAL
CONFLICT RIGHT HERE.
YOUR HUSBAND HAS TO ANSWER
TO HIS TRUE NATURE.
HIS COUNTRY NEEDS HIM.
YOU'RE WRONG.
HOW SO?
MY HUSBAND'S
A DECENT MAN.
HE'S NOT A MURDERER,
IN OR OUT OF UNIFORM.
EVERYTHING WAS FINE
UNTIL MY MOTHER DIED.
NEXT THING YOU KNOW,
I'M LIVING IN WASHINGTON
WITH DUANE.
WASN'T SO BAD
WHEN HE WAS OFF CAMPAIGNING.
I GOT TO DO WHAT I WANTED.
YOU LIKE TO DO
WHAT YOU WANT,
DON'T YA?
DOESN'T EVERYBODY?
SOME PEOPLE DO
WHAT THEY HAVE TO.
WELL, WHEN DUANE
GOT THROWN OUT OF THE ARMY,
HE CAME OUT HERE.
I HAD TO COME WITH HIM.
NOW, IF HE GOT THROWN
OUT OF THE ARMY,
WHY'S HE STILL WEAR
THE UNIFORM?
'CAUSE HE THINKS
HE'S GENERAL GRANT.
WHAT'D YOUR FATHER DO?
HE WAS A MUSTANGER,
SAME AS ME.
AND HIS FATHER?
SAME.
AND YOUR SON, IS HE GONNA BE
A MUSTANGER, TOO?
DAVIS?
NOPE. HE'S GONNA
GET AN EDUCATION.
HE'S GONNA MAKE
A LIVING WITH HIS HEAD,
NOT HIS BACK.
MARTHA'LL SEE TO THAT.
WANT SOME MORE COFFEE?
I GOT A QUESTION
FOR YOU.
ASK IT.
WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOUR LIMP?
YOU'RE BORED.
YOU'RE LOOKIN' FOR TROUBLE...
AND TOOK A BATH
LAST NIGHT.
I KNOW YOU LIKE ME.
SURE, I LIKE YOU.
BUT IT DON' MAKE IT RIGHT.
LATER ON TONIGHT,
YOU'LL BE SORRY.
I'M ALREADY SORRY.
MORNIN'.
SEND LORRAINE
ON OUT HERE.
WELL...
YOU'RE PRETTY
FREE AND EASY
WITH MY DAUGHTER'S
REPUTATION.
MR. CABLE
WAS A PERFECT GENTLEMAN.
MY HONOR'S INTACT.
UNFORTUNATELY.
IN ANY EVENT,
A GUN BATTLE
TO RECLAIM MY REPUTATION
WOULD BE GRATUITOUS.
GET ON.
BUT I'VE MADE
A VERY NICE BREAKFAST.
LORRAINE.
YOU GOT 2 DAYS
TO MOVE ON.
YOU KEEP YOUR STOCK
OFF MY LAND.
I GOT CATTLE
COMIN' IN.
IF THAT'S THE CASE,
I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF.
THANKS FOR
THE VERY NICE BREAKFAST.
Man: LOOK AT THIS.
Luz: IT'S OVER!
IT'S OVER!
WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?
WHAT'S OVER?
THE WAR! THE WAR'S OVER!
IN HIDALGO, EVERYBODY KNOWS.
IT'S ON THE FRONT PAGE!
THIS IS A LIE.
THEY TOLD ME TO COME
BACK AND TELL YOU.
HOW COULD
THEY BE SO SURE?
THE TELEGRAPH
DOESN'T LIE.
MR. JANROE!
WARS DON'T JUST END
LIKE THIS.
HOW DO THEY END?
THERE'S SOME WARNING.
IT WOULD BE DAYS,
WEEKS BEFORE THEY END.
THIS IS ARIZONA TERRITORY.
WE'RE NOT IN RICHMOND.
THIS COULD BE
A YANKEE TRICK.
ANYBODY CAN SEND
A MESSAGE OVER A WIRE.
FOR WHAT GAIN?
LUZ, CAN I TAKE YOUR HORSE?
NO, NO.
I'LL TELL CABLE. I--
I'M GOIN' OU THAT WAY ANYWAY.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YES.
THIS IS GOOD NEWS, MAMA.
WHO WON?
FOR A MAN WITH
A PRICE ON HIS HEAD,
YOU'RE A BIT CARELESS,
CABLE.
OH...I COULD HAVE
SHOT YOU
BACK AROUND THE BEND.
YOUR HORSE THREW A SHOE.
BLIND MAN COULD FIND YOU
IN THE DARK.
VERN KIDSTON AIN' GONNA LIKE YOU
RUNNING HIS HORSES.
I'LL NEED THE GRASS.
FOR WHAT?
I SEE NO OVERALLS.
YOU AIN'T NO FARMER.
I DON'T SEE NO CATTLE.
WELL, YOU WILL,
WHEN YOU RIDE DOWN
TO NOGALES
AND BUY 'EM.
MAYBE KIDSTON WILL KILL YOU
BEFORE I RETURN.
THEN SELL THE CATTLE,
GIVE THE MONEY
TO MARTHA.
HA HA.
MAYBE I KEEP THE MONEY.
THEN ENJOY YOURSELF.
HA HA!
CABLE?
CABLE?
CABLE? CA--
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
IT'S OVER.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
S.
MAYBE
THE KIDSTONS
WON'T BE SO ANGRY
ANYMORE,
YOU CAN STAY.
MAYBE JANROE
WILL GO BACK
TO WHERE HE CAME FROM.
MY HUSBAND'S GOLD.
THIS? THIS
IS NOT GOLD.
THIS IS SOME COWS
AND A YOUNG BULL
WHO KNOWS HOW
TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS.
WAS HE ALL RIGHT?
CABLE? HE'S ALL RIGHT.
HA HA!
CABLE IS ALWAYS
ALL RIGHT.
EVENIN', MAJOR.
WHO'S THERE?
EDWARD JANROE.
DIDN'T MEAN
TO STARTLE YOU.
YOU DIDN'T STARTLE ME.
YOU ALL ALONE HERE?
MY DAUGHTER'S
SLEEPIN'
IN THE HOUSE.
I SUPPOSE YOU'VE
HEARD THE NEWS.
IT'S ONLY GOSSIP.
NOPE. NO, SIR.
ROBERT E. LEE
SURRENDERED
THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA
TO GENERAL GRANT.
THAT IS NOT GOSSIP.
THAT IS FACT.
FACTS HAVE
A WAY OF CHANGIN',
DEPENDIN' ON
WHO'S ISSUIN' THEM.
THE SMOKE, SMELL
OF CHANCELLORSVILLE
IN MY HEART TONIGHT,
I DRINK TO ALL
THOSE BRAVE MEN
WHO DIED THERE.
YOU'D UNDERSTAND
IF YOU'D SERVED.
I DIDN' LOSE THE USE OF THIS ARM
FALLIN' OFF A BAR STOOL.
I FOUGH WITH KIRBY SMITH.
YOU AND CABLE. HA.
WELL, YOU MAY HAVE
BEEN A SOLDIER ONCE,
BUT YOU'RE JUS A GROCERY CLERK NOW.
UNDERNEATH THE STORE,
I GOT 2 DOZEN CASES
OF ENFIELDS.
SIR, I ADVISE YOU
TO TURN THEM IN
TO THE AUTHORITIES
AT FORT BOL OR FACE ARREST.
NOBODY'S GONNA
ARREST ME.
'CAUSE NOBODY
KNOWS ABOUT THEM RIFLES.
EXCEPT YOU.
GIVE IT UP, JANROE.
GO ON HOME.
SIR, I DON'T BELIEVE
YOU UNDERSTAND.
I UNDERSTAND I AM
TALKING TO A MAN
WHO IS NO IN COMPLETE CONTROL
OF HIS FACULTIES.
PEOPLE GONNA
THINK CABLE SHOT YOU
FOR WRECKIN' HIS HOUSE.
THAT'S FOR
GENERAL SHERMAN.
THAT'S FOR
MR. LINCOLN.
I'M SORRY
ABOUT YOUR FATHER.
WE KNOW WHO DID IT?
I WAS SLEEPING.
I HEARD 2 SHOTS.
BY THE TIME I GOT TO HIM,
NO ONE WAS THERE.
WELL, WHO WOULD IT BE
IF IT WASN'T CABLE?
WHO ELSE HAD ANY REASON?
WELL, CABLE
MIGHT'VE DONE IT,
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE
WE OUGHTA BE SURE.
AND WE'RE NOT SURE.
THAT'S THE THING.
I'M AS SURE
AS I NEED TO BE.
MR. KIDSTON?
I DON'T BELIEVE
CABLE KILLED DUANE.
CABLE KILLED
BOTH MY BROTHERS,
BUT THEY WERE
FAIR FIGHTS.
HE COULD'VE
KILLED ME,
AND NOBODY WOULD'VE
SAID BY YOUR LEAVE.
WELL, YOU'RE ENTITLED
TO YOUR OPINION.
I HAD 2 BROTHERS.
NOW I GOT NONE.
I GOT A MOTHER
IN KANSAS.
WELL, YOU'RE
A GOOD HAND, AUSTIN.
THANK YOU.
THIS MORNIN',
MR. KIDSTON AND 3 RIDERS
HEADED OU TO YOUR PLACE.
IT WASN'T SOCIAL.
WHY?
SOME FELLA RODE UP
TO THE HOUSE LAST NIGH AND PUMPED
2 SLUGS INTO DUANE,
KILLED HIM FOR SURE.
VERN BELIEVES
CABLE DID IT.
HOW COME
YOU'RE NOT WITH THEM?
SOMETHIN' WRONG
WITH THIS VALLEY.
THE WAR'S OVER,
BUT THE KILLIN' DON'T STOP.
LUZ--
DON'T WORRY. I'LL TAKE CARE
OF THE CHILDREN.
GOIN' OUT THERE'S
ONLY GONNA MAKE
MATTERS WORSE.
YOU'RE LIABLE TO
GET YOURSELF SHOT.
I'LL KILL YOU
IF I HAVE TO.
YOU NEVER TOLD CABLE
THE WAR'S OVER.
HE WASN'T THERE.
WHO KILLED
DUANE KIDSTON?
IT WAS YOU.
WE HAVE WORK TO DO.
Vern: BELOW THE HOUSE.
SORRY I MISSED YOU
LAST NIGHT.
PUT THE GUN
DOWN.
YOU TORE UP
MY HOUSE.
PUT IT DOWN.
WHEN YOU GET OFF
MY LAND.
THERE'S STILL LAW
IN THIS TERRITORY.
IF YOU WAN TO COME ALONG PEACEFULLY,
I GIVE YOU MY WORD
WE WON'T SHOOT.
I GOT NO BUSINESS
AT FORT LOWELL.
WELL, YOU VISITED
DUANE LAST NIGHT.
WE'RE RETURNIN' THE CALL.
I NEVER LEFT HERE
LAST NIGHT.
YOU KILLED DUANE,
SHOT HIM TWICE.
IF I DID,
I'D REMEMBER.
YOU LIAR.
HYAH!

I COULD

I COULD HAVE KILLED YOU
YESTERDAY WITH MANUEL.
WHY DIDN'T YOU?
I'M NOT SURE.
IF MY HUSBAND
KILLED YOUR BROTHER,
HE'D TELL YOU
STRAIGHT OUT.
HE KNEW THE WAR
WAS OVER.
HE KILLED DUANE
ANYWAY.
IS THAT TRUE?
NOBODY TOLD ME
THE WAR'S OVER.
JANROE RODE OUT HERE
YESTERDAY TO TELL YOU.
JANROE CAME HERE?
I GUESS HE
PAID US BOTH A VISIT.
CHILDREN
ARE AT THE STORE.
JANROE'S THERE.
CLARE?
DAVIS?
WHERE'S JANROE?
AIN'T NOBODY SEEN HIM.
HE WAS GONE
WHEN I GOT HERE.
Martha: CLARE? DAVIS?
MAMA!
DAVIS,
WHERE'S YOUR SISTER?
HE TOOK HER.
DID JANROE SHOOT LUZ?
LUZ SAID HE WASN' TAKIN' US ANYWHERE.
MR. JANROE
SHOT HER DEAD.
THE RIFLES.
THE WAGON'S GONE.
HE TOOK THE ENFIELDS,
ALL OF 'EM.
HE NEEDS CLARE
TO HELP WITH
THE FOUR-UP.
THE REBS YOU SENT PABLO
FOR TRADING.
HE'LL SELL THE RIFLES THERE.
I'M GOING WITH YA.
DUANE'S DEAD.
YOUR GIRL'S ALIVE.
I'M GOING WITH YA.
GO.
YOU'LL BE FINE, OK?
[CRYING] WE CAN' LOSE ANOTHER CHILD.
[WEEPING]

[GUNSHOTS, SHOUTING]
UNH! UHH...
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GUNSHOT]
[GUNSHOT]
Man: CABLE!
[GUNSHOT]
Man: HEY, HOMBRE!
HERE'S THE DEAL.
YOU TAKE THE RIFLES
AND LEAVE.
LET'S END THIS.
NO, NO, NO, NO.
YOU KILLED OUR FRIENDS!
HOMBRE, I THINK
THAT WE KILL YOU.
THEN WE TAKE
THE RIFLES.
THAT IS THE DEAL.
ADELANTE!
OH, WELL.
[DISTANT GUNFIRE]
HOMBRE!
HOMBRE!
WE WILL TAKE
THE RIFLES.
DON'T SHOO NO MORE!
YOUR DADDY TOLD ME
TO GET YOU HOME.
I'M NOT GOING!
CLARE.
DADDY!
DADDY, YOU'RE HURT.
I'M FINE, DARLIN'.
GET ON.
SHE WASN'T GOIN' NOWHERE
TILL YOU SHOWED.
VERN, I'LL ALWAYS
BE GRATEFUL
FOR WHAT YOU DONE.
WELL, I MADE MORE
THAN MY SHARE OF MISTAKES.
GLAD IT WORKED OUT.
HOW BAD IS THAT?
LET'S GO.
Clare: MAMA!
OH, CLARE!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M ALL RIGHT...
BUT DADDY'S HURT.
THANKS FOR HELPIN'
MY DAD.
GLAD I COULD, SON.
CLARE SAID
THAT YOU AND MR. KIDSTON
COULD'VE PUT SIR LANCELO TO SHAME.
WHAT SPREAD'S
HE WORK FOR?
WE ALL OWE VERN.
MAYBE WE CAN ALL
LIVE HERE IN PEACE NOW.
YOU TALKIN'
ABOUT THE WAR
BETWEEN THE STATES
OR THE WAR
BETWEEN US?
THE DISADVANTAGE
OF KNOWIN' A MAN
ALL HIS LIFE
IS THAT A WOMAN
NEVER EXPECTS HIM TO CHANGE,
AND WHEN HE DOES,
IT RATTLES HER.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN
THE CABLE YOU KNEW DIED.
TELL ME ABOU FORT PILLOW.
ALL MEN SIN,
ESPECIALLY IN WAR.
WE SLAUGHTERED
UNARMED PRISONERS.
THEY WORE YANKEE BLUE,
AND WE GUNNED 'EM DOWN
LIKE DOGS.
YOU DIDN'T SHOO UNARMED MEN.
NO...
BUT I--
I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING
TO STOP IT.
MARY DIED, AND I COULDN' DO ANYTHING TO STOP IT.
WE DON'T CONTROL
OUR LIVES.
WE PRETEND WE DO,
BUT IT'S SELF-DECEPTION.
WITH ALL MY STRENGTH,
I REACHED OUT FOR MY CHILD,
BUT SHE SLIPPED AWAY.
SO I BLAMED MYSELF,
AND WHEN THAT WORE OUT,
I BLAMED YOU.
IF THERE WASN'T NO WAR
AND YOU WERE BESIDE MARY'S BED
HOLDING HER HAND,
SHE STILL WOULD HAVE DIED.
I DON'T KNOW
WHY I WENT TO WAR.
MAYBE I'LL NEVER KNOW.
BUT I DO KNOW THIS.
THERE WASN'T A DAY
GONE BY I DID NOT REGRE LEAVING YOU
AND THE CHILDREN.
AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME
THAT YOU KNOW THAT.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME
THAT YOU SAID IT.
SO WHERE'S THA LEAVE US?
WE LET THE WAR
AND MARY SLEEP...
AND NATURE
CAN DO THE REST.
